Point that's secured fair for football team (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stevenage

'football team' is the definition.
(I know that Stevenage is a football team)

'point that's secured fair' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'stage' (synonyms).
'that's secured' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters secured inside).
'fair' becomes 'even' (I've seen this in another clue).
'stage' enclosing 'even' is 'STEVENAGE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stevenage that I've seen before include "New Town to north of London" , "Hertfordshire new town" , "League One club" , "Variety of tea" , "Herts town" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
